Encino Man Filming Locations - All Locations (Almost) - Then And Now - California Man

[@backtothefiliminglocation5057]

Great job Kurt! The attention to detail on this was amazing! Dave's house was my neighbor's house growing up. They picked their house because it was one of the only houses on the block without a pool. They actually dug up the backyard for the movie and then filled it back in and put in some nice landscaping. The pool that's there now was added later. It was really fun seeing the rest of the locations and to see you hanging out in my old neighborhood.

[@80sLife]

That's really cool. I should have had you come out for that part of the video.

[@funkydung.]

That's awesome

[@MrDman21]

Gotta love those Spanish tiles on the roof. 😎

[@lancelambert]

Hey hey buddy, that last scene is filmed in North Moorpark. It’s Broadway Rd./23 and Fair Oaks. Thanks for another great video!

[@davefilms345]

I've just Google mapped it, yep it looks correct

[@avega2792]

I was just telling my wife it was probably filmed in Moorpark!

[@lancelambert]

@@davefilms345 it’s crazy, I was just on that road taking the back way home from a meeting in Santa Paula. Then I end up watching this video the very same day.

[@davefilms345]

@@lancelambert I think Kurt should go back and film that last scene for us or film it and put it into his video. It's definitely that road for sure.

[@lancelambert]

@@davefilms345 right? Hey I’ll take him to lunch up here if he does!

[@davefilms345]

This Is amazing Kurt, wow, over here in the UK the movie is called California man. I love this film so I can relate to the locations also. Bloody brilliant. Your location vids keep getting better and better. Looking forward to the next one. Oh did you get to weeze the juuuicee lol.

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much, really! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. No juice for me? Haha

[@CT-vm4gf]

Haha wow that’s interesting. I just looked at wiki and in New Zealand it was called California Man as well, but here in Australia it’s Encino Man, strange.

[@ednieto05]

Very cool! My Mom and Stepdad were working at L.A. Mission College during the filming of those school scenes. I had left the Valley to attend college, but I remember them telling my about the filming going on and them describing one of the actors as having really “weird long hair” which could have described Brendan Fraser or Pauly Shore. I do remember that they built LAMC in the late 1980s on part of El Cariso Park. Great video! Love these!

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

Fantastic! Really looking forward to this. I loved this film as a kid, but it wasn't called Encino man here in the UK. It was called California man. We wouldn't have had a clue otherwise.

[@markbass7145]

8:54 two Oscar winners right there!

[@davidgoodman6924]

Great video! Love Encino Man! YEEESSSS!!! Thank you! Born 1972!

[@80sLife]

Thank you

[@avega2792]

Cool video, man. I grew up in Sylmar and San Fernando so seeing the old footage brought back memories. That Dollar tree was a music store at the time of filming and I use to go buy cassettes there and before that it was a Thrifty’s. I use to go there a lot with my family and when I bought my DJ equipment I bought it at the San Fernando mall. Good times and good memories!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!! Glad it brought back memories

[@arceyes]

This made me smile. Excellent work and research. Big love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@80sLife]

Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

[@markcrellin5550]

Awesome video fella, this film was called California Man here in the UK. I love this film.

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@thewickednetwork7667]

Childhood favorite movies from the 90s.I remember my going to the mall to watch this movie also Wayne World was also playing @ time crazy to think that Brendan Fraser had 2 movies 4 months apart showing Encino Man & School Ties. Summer 92

[@michaelbusciacco9965]

Great video man, really enjoyed, to any fans of movie who wants another hidden treasure from the movie to all WWF/WWE fans out there when Dave and Stoney are teaching Link how to defend himself the clip of Dino Bravo doing the airplane spin was taken from an episode of Wrestling Challenge that aired 7/29/90 (taped actually a month earlier 6/26/90 in Huntington, WV) Gorilla Monsoon does indeed deliver the line during the broadcast that’s heard in the movie

[@80sLife]

Thank you! And thank you for that extra bit of trivia

Awesome, Thank you and appreciate all you do✌️

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much!

[@liamcinq]

Hi Kurt, love the way you do these videos, framing is great for comparison. Over in the UK the film is known as 'California Man', you may get some more traffic if you add that to the title.

[@80sLife]

Thank you!! I took your advice, thanks

[@godsgiftmaggot898]

Such a funny coincidence. . . . just rented / watched this movie last weekend with my family (haven't seen it since it came out). Wasn't looking for this, I'm a sub to your channel. Really good video!!

[@80sLife]

Ha, that's so cool! Thank you

Great job favorite filming location youtuber

[@logic63]

I loved that movie. Cool video.

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@lemorab1]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm a bit obsessive about locations used in films and how they've changed over time. Particularly in the Valley (where I grew up before the freeways) where the favorite past time is tearing everything down and building something ugly to take its place.

[@evanreid6917]

Cool video loved it, also love the flick so thanks for making this 👍 cheers.

[@MandoP-77]

Awesome videos...👍

omg laurel plaza. i completely forgot about that place. used to go there to ice skate when i was a little kid. as i got a bit older, my sister and I would go to iceoplex that used to be by the van nuys airport.

Loved this when it came out . It was called California man here in the UK .

I thought it was a great movie! Thanks for taking time doing these I was hoping you did this one. Now I gotta watch it soon

[@80sLife]

Always my pleasure. Thank you

[@srarcade]

Awesome job on this one, watched this tons as a kid, still a fun movie I can't wait til my kids are a little older to understand it. The only thing is I never got the whole "running the Vapor in reverse"- looks normal to me in the movie footage- and that park was packed for a school day afternoon!

[@splif7773]

How cool, great work!!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@steveo3002]

california man in the uk lol....another great video thanks

[@BoonieChris]

your videos area absolutely awesome! I am from Austria, grew up with all those movies ans visited CA a couple of times. Now seeing all those movie locations and kinda knowing where they are is so great

[@edbrown2061]

I had the movie on vhs. From the looks of the last scene, it could be either in Moorpark on the 118 highway ( near the 23) or off the 126 between Valencia and Ventura before they widened the highway.

[@avega2792]

It’s definitely Moorpark. I use to drive those roads all the time in the early 2000s and recognized it as Moorpark instantly.

[@Lalofelix73]

Cool video !

[@80sLife]

Thank you

[@DaSquirrel562]

Great video man! You should do locations for the first Fast & Furious. One of my favorite movies of all time especially since I believe most of it was shot near the harbor area where I’ve lived most of my life! I’d love to see you go through the rest of the locations though!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!

[@TheLoneStranger213]

Dude. Brendan Frazier was so freaking cool. Wanted to be like Corey Haim when I was really young. He was about 5 years older. Had a bro crush on Brendan when I watched this. So glad to see him still working. Hope his body holds out. The weasel was looking rough out in Hawaii. I'd like to see him get some love. We could use some of his goofy comedy chops at the Fox news desk or make him an ambassador to Haiti. In the army now comes to mind.

[@frankgranado7845]

Lace Mountain deck so appropriate lol

[@w3stern49]

I love this movie

[@kaydawgy1999]

great job

I love 90s movies that have 80's vibes 🙂

[@PeeWeeHermitGames]

I would love to see you cover filming locations for " Ed Wood", HEAT, Reservoir Dogs, T2 and/or Pulp Fiction!

[@crush41gb]

Around 10:58 Is that the area Clark kidnaps John Candy in Vacation? Didn't they and Summer School use 6 flags? Super Awesome video, Kind Sir! I love your location episodes! 😀

[@Mr.Buttermaker]

Oh yeeaaah! Another banger!

[@80sLife]

Thank you!!

[@streetballtimetaggersbtt3596]

So cool. Makes me feel like im in the movie

[@MFBURNS7909]

I remember when Viper was being built. I wasn't tall enough to ride it when it opened but an older person had me stand on his foot and I got on. Back when a season pass was $25

[@80sLife]

Those were the days

[@darrenkellman5780]

I'm watching the movie now nooo squeeze the juice. Lol. Thanks this is great

[@gordchapman3469]

Loved this movie! What I find most interesting is at Dave's house, there is a kind of palm tree in the front yard; in the movie, it was short like a fern, but now it looks to be 6 or 7 feet tall!

[@Nextlevel-gm8uu]

Great video and work put into the video. Thanks! I just saw my highschool Qb(John burroughs highschool burbank)as an extra in driver's ed scene. 😳

We went to that Pollo loco and yoshinyos right there too!!

[@wadeanderson9032]

I love your videos nobody has never did one on the 1998 the faculty filming location you know with Josh Hartnett in it

[@MFBURNS7909]

The scene that you're looking for I think is when you're going to Ventura through Saugus and through the town of Piru. Idk if the trees are still there

[@80sLife]

Yeah, we've since found it. Ha. Thank you

[@Twobarpsi]

Excellent!!🤘🤘🤘

[@v2vroth]

Awesome!!

[@80sLife]

Thank you

[@NoName-eu2xw]

Yes you did it!!!!! Also I got a new debit and forgot to update some auto withdrawals. You were one of them. 😞

[@jeffdoty5755]

It's so cool the doors still look the same

[@cardjunkie]

Awesome vid man but how many films were made in the valley?

[@daviddevonshire7213]

Amazing that you was able to find these locations 29 years later, most of them still looks the same

[@lego1631]

The final filming location is in Moorpark/Filmore on Happy Camp Road, which is also home to the urban legend of gravity hill. You can place your car in neutral and it will roll uphill.

[@80sLife]

Yes, I've found it since. Thank you. I didn't know there was a gravity hill there. I did a video about the one in the Valley

[@lego1631]

@@80sLife i will try and film it this weekend and ill send it to you

[@robertaBooey69]

After brenden Fraser was on Howard I had to look this up one of my favorite classic

[@thedadga]

I'm guessing that last scene in your video is in Ventura county, maybe Santa Paula or Somis?

We solved it. It's in Moore Park. Bummed I didn't get to include it

Did they shoot in the house too

[@bobfrapples1208]

I believe that is a 76 AMC Matador Coupe in Dave's driveway. Car geeks, get on it let me know if I'm wrong.
